CLINICAL EVIDENCE

BIS Technology Sets the Standard of Care for Lymphedema Detection

In PREVENT, the largest randomized controlled trial (RCT) for lymphedema prevention in breast cancer patients, 92% of patients with early detection using BIS and intervention did not progress to chronic lymphedema.

EARLY DETECTION & INTERVENTION FOR LYMPHEDEMA CARE

Improving Patient Outcomes with a Lymphedema Prospective Care Model

Using our SOZO Digital Health Platform with L-Dex, ImpediMed partners with you to implement a Lymphedema Prevention Program (LPP) to help detect lymphedema in breast cancer patients at the early stage, so that it can be treated and stopped from progressing to a lifelong condition.
